Episode 7

It's Christmas in the nation's favourite corner shop, and Granville has a large consignment of mistletoe mince pies to shift, but how can he persuade his regulars to buy them? Eric and Cyril refuse to be taken in by the wily grocer's promises of romantic enhancement in every box - but have they been too hasty, could the pies actually work?

Meanwhile, the Black Widow decides she's taking Mr Newbold Christmas shopping, Madge and Mavis discuss whether to invite Gastric for Christmas dinner, and Leroy tries to enlist Ruby's help to stop Beth seeing Gerald, but nearly blows it with a chance encounter at the allotment.

Back in the Community Hall, everyone gets in the festive spirit by arranging a surprise anniversary party for Annie and George Thompson, who are celebrating 50 Christmases together - but just where are the happy couple?
